Historical

Crypto FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Today's Cryptography was first published in 1992 and is one of the most popular sections of RSA Security's Web site. The latest revision, version 4.1 from the year 2000, still remains a valuable introduction to the field.

RSA Algorithm
Two of the cryptographic schemes based on the RSA algorithm — RSA-OAEP and RSA-PSS — are described in detail in these pages.

Cryptographic Challenges
Various cryptographic challenges — including the RSA Factoring Challenge — served in the early days of commercial cryptography to measure the state of progress in practical cryptanalysis and reward researchers for the new knowledge they brought to the community.

CryptoBytes Technical Newsletter
Published occasionally since 1995, CryptoBytes is the technical newsletter of RSA Laboratories. CryptoBytes features articles by leading researchers on the latest results in cryptography and data security.

Technical Notes and Reports
RSA Laboratories' technical notes provide technical insight into specific cryptographic topics. Some are focused on a particular subject; others offer a survey of an entire field. The series includes RSA Laboratories' Bulletins.
